1. How close to a crosswalk at an intersection can you legally park in Arizona?
Why: Arizona prohibits parking on a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.
2. How close to a railroad crossing can you legally park in Arizona?
Why: Arizona's prohibited-parking list includes railroad crossings — you may not park within 50 feet of one.
3. What does a YELLOW painted curb mean in Arizona, and what must you do while stopped there?
Why: Arizona's yellow curb means you may stop only long enough to load or unload, and you must stay with your vehicle the whole time — a different rule from the white curb, which is for picking up or dropping off passengers.
4. How should you turn your wheels when parking on an UPHILL grade with a curb present in Arizona?
Why: Uphill with a curb present, turn your wheels left and let the car roll back gently until the right front wheel rests against the curb, then set the parking brake — the opposite of the downhill technique, where you turn the wheels toward the curb.
